As I was reading Psalm 118 the other day, verse 14 stayed on my mind. It says, “The LORD is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.”This is the NIV version. Most versions translate as ‘song’ instead of ‘defense.’ But being the sports-minded person I am, this version made me stop and… Continue reading Defense

Let’s look at the parable of the sower in Mark Chapter 4. Specifically the seed sown on rocky places. ‭‭ Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ says, “Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or… Continue reading Shallow Soil

How does the miracle of the woman with the blood condition demonstrate knowing Christ as your savior? This woman had suffered from a blood condition for 12 years. She went to doctors, spent all her money, but she was getting worse instead of better. When we are dead in our sins, nothing we do can… Continue reading Blood Condition

I don’t think there’s anyone I relate to in the Bible more than Moses. In Exodus 3, God appears to Moses in a burning bush. Moses sees this bush that doesn’t burn up, then hears God call his name. Then God tells Moses, “Go, I’m sending you…” But Moses questions God and says, “Who am… Continue reading Answering The Call

I listened to music on my phone as I got ready this morning. I jumped in the car, singing along to a song, then realized I had forgot something inside. I got out of my car, still singing, and slammed the door forgetting that the music was coming from inside the car. I couldn’t hear… Continue reading Joy At All Times

When you are seeking out God’s will and purpose for your life, you will have enemies. The devil is threatened by those who have surrendered their lives to God. He will use whatever he can to keep you from seeking the Lord. This is happening today, but it’s nothing new. When God placed it in… Continue reading Strengthen My Hands

This world is dark and scary, and seems to be getting worse all the time. But maybe, no…not maybe, you were made for these days! What an encouragement! God created you to be a light pointing people to Him in this dark world today. A whole generation of people could be saved if you are… Continue reading Made For These Days

We’re all born and we all die. What matters is the dash in between. I’ve been thinking a lot about death. I guess that’s ok because Ecclesiastes 7:2 says it’s, “Better to go to the house of mourning Than to go to the house of feasting, For that is the end of all men; And… Continue reading Make The Dash Matter

How many times throughout our day do we worry and try to figure things out on our own? Look at this convicting passage from Isaiah where the Lord is warning the people about their actions. ““Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord, “Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but… Continue reading This is the way, walk in it.

I often think to myself that I’m not good at witnessing or telling people about Jesus. I often tell myself it’s just my shy, quiet personality that keeps me from telling people about Jesus. But today, I was convicted. Today, a question pierced me that I asked myself. How many times have I prayed for… Continue reading Cast The Line
